Convection baking and roasting can be used for roasting meats
and poultry, or for baking yeast breads and loaf cakes using a
single rack.
During Convection Bake, the bake and broil elements cycle on
and off in intervals to maintain the oven temperature, while the
fan constantly circulates the hot air.
Reduce recipe temperature by turning the temperature control
knob down 1 temperature setting. The cook time may need to be
reduced also.
To Convection Bake and Roast:
Before convection baking and roasting, position the racks
according to the "Positioning Racks and Bakeware" or "Cooking
Chart" sections.
When convection roasting, use the drip tray under the oven rack.
It is not necessary to wait for the oven to preheat before putting
in food, unless it is recommended in the recipe.

oven will automatically confirm your selection 10 seconds after

Forced Air

Forced Air symbol
Forced Air can be used for baking delicate cakes and pastries, as
well as foods on multiple racks. This function can be used to
cook different foods without odors being transferred from one
food to another.
It is helpful to stagger items on the racks to allow a more even
flow of heat. If the oven is full, extra cooking time may be needed.
During Forced Air, the convection ring element cycles on and off
in intervals to maintain the oven temperature, while the fan
constantly circulates the hot air.
Reduce recipe temperature by turning the temperature control
knob down 1 temperature setting. The cook time may need to be
reduced also.
Before using the Forced Air function, see the "Convection Bake"
section for general convection bake guidelines.
